In the article “Teaching vignettes for working with Arduino in science teacher education,” published in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Angelika Bernsteiner, Thomas Schubatzky, Philipp Spitzer and Claudia Haagen-Schützenhöfer investigate how pre-service teachers can be prepared to work with Arduino in the classroom. Teaching vignettes were developed based on authentic classroom situations. These vignettes serve as learning opportunities that allow pre-service teachers to reflect on teaching and learning processes from a teacher’s perspective.
The use of these teaching vignettes was investigated within the context of a university course. The results indicate that teaching vignettes can make a valuable contribution to teacher education, particularly with regard to reflecting on classroom processes and addressing self-efficacy expectations related to the use of digital media.
